No surgery for Herremans

Finally some good news on the Philadelphia Eagles' injury front. Well, at least not disastrous news.

Turns out right tackle Todd Herremans will not need surgery to repaiur the foot injury he suffered in Monday night's 28-13 loss to the New Orleans Saints. That was the word that came down from head trainer Rick Burkholder this afternoon.

Herremans will still need a good amount of recovery time and won't make it back this season. But hey, at least his career is not considered to be in jeopardy.

But the Eagles also announced today that backup running back Chris Polk, who's been active for all but one game this season, is out for this Sunday's game against Dallas with a toe injury. Polk showed up in the locker room today in crutches and not willing to talk, but smiling. Take that for what it's worth as well.

Meanwhile, running back LeSean McCoy was out sick for a second straight day, but according to sources here at the NovaCare Complex, it would be a shock if he didn't play this Sunday.

McCoy might be the toughest player in the organization. If he can play with broken ribs, which he's done before, he can certainly play with a cold or the flu, providing he's allowed. He's been very durable, considering the position he plays.
